Hearthstone - WoW TCG Game Announced

[Deleted]

Its freee
Developed by completly new team so there wont be any delays on new content in wow.
Look pretty fun.

I was hoping for something bigger but hey.. its free you just CANT complain over something that is free.

Loved it when only 10 people clapped......

All I got to say is that I guess blizzard is doing April fools a couple weeks early or at lease I hope that is the case.

I caught that myself and it was the more entertaining part of the announcement.

Yea a tiny side project made by a dozen people on the team making a really sweet little idea for a game is clearly indicating that they're fading away.

This is the dumbest fucking thread on MMO-C atm.

What do you expect. If GC announces a 1% nerf to an ability, you get 10 pages of people calling him the B-team, or that he did it because he got beat by that class in a duel, or whatever. They add something like pet battles, and every pvper or hardcore raider writes a novel about the dev team wasting it´s time.. etc.

If you play WOW, and you never played a card game.. then yeah, this is probably not an exciting announcement.... but only on these forums is it seen as an epic fail and the death of Blizzard.

Kids like to stay dramatic things.

ROFL.. April Fool's is a while off Blizzard

[Mortal Strike]

I proly would gone with a genre with more mass apeal. A CCG has fairly limited range.

I think that was kind of the point, though. It's a smaller game, with a smaller niche and a smaller development team. It's also a different game than what they're used to designing and a good experiment for them at using a free to play model.

so many people bringing up its free to play so stop complaining. News flash- F2P is more cash grabbing this day and age other than sub models. Bli$$ard in full effect

So smart. Freemium cashes more $$$ than F2P, but they didn't decide to go down that road.

False, the entertaining part was hearing the shoutcaster guy. God I wish I had his voice, I'd never shut up.

[Hoomin]

Such a fucking stupid idea. Let's take resources that could be used to improve our game with failing replay ability and put it in to a game that panders to the 1% of people who actually play our horrible, shitty, fucking atrocious card game for more than just loot cards! YAY!

[Absintheminded]

This isn't that bad of an announcement, it just seems silly to me that this is their "brand new idea" when they already have an existing TCG. It just seems to make more sense to me to just have an online version of the existing TCG. As for in-game rewards, that would be sweet, but I doubt that will happen.

[Gegan]

Can't wait to get my hands on this. Looks like a good game to play when bored.

[Boogums]

YOU GOTTA BUY CARDS? JUST LIKE A REGULAR FUCKlNG CARD GAME, NO FUCKING WAY, WHO WOULD'VE FUCKING THOUGHT

[TrollShaman]

hrm I'm not sure what to say, considering that I can never buy the normal TCG in where I live... I'll just have to see how this game will unfold.

edit:

make it for Android also plz ...

And iPad, so I'll consider further :P

[Saphyron]

I don't think it will be terrible, and in fact I'll probably play the shit out of it. But the fact remains they still lied right to our faces. They said it didn't have to do with their other games, and its set in the universe of one of their other games... which HAS TO DO WITH THEIR OTHER GAMES.

The intro video had me going though, I thought for sure All-stars was what was getting announced, which also had me mad cause that also meant they were lying.

Just gonna put this here go reread it

Looks great, was always interested in the TCG, and was hoping they'd make an online game, since I don't want to invest that much money into buying packs.

[tnyswonger]

This has to be an April Fool's joke. I'm not buying it (pun intended) Blizzard!

Exactly.

Maybe people are disappointed that it wasn't a bigger announcement (don't know why, it's fairly obvious any announcement of importance will be done at Blizzcon) but it's a free game, you can play or leave it, it's that simple really. I'm not into TCG but I will give it a go and play casually if its fun, will be quite interesting if there's WoW in-game incentives though.

[Wolfbear]

It makes sense they are making games like this when there's such a massive boom in indie titles and free to play games. Honestly I think it looks great, and my doubt was shifted when the actual card battle was shown and the dude was commentating on what was happening. It wasn't over-hyped at all, I totally forgot about it until this morning. We already know they are making MOBA type game, so why would they announce that as a "new" title. This is nothing but a cool wee game in my opinion.

[LordKain]

All the little kiddies raging is quite entertaining. Please continue! -popcorn-

As for Hearthstone, was never much into card games, but watching the game in motion...I gotta say I'm quite interested now.

Has a collectible card game EVER done well when translating it to a Video Game? I mean... ACTUALLY become more popular than its original physical card form? I'm not asking "was it translated well?

Considering the game is free, there is no pun...

Freemium... no CCG is "free".
